Several of us had a great time paddling yesterday! The waves were consistently 1-3 ft, with an occasional 4 or 5 ft wave south of the break wall. I would not have felt comfortable paddling on my own, south of the break wall, so it was great having a group!

The only casualty of the day– as I was coming in, and pulling up my skeg, a wave flipped me less than 5 feet from shore. I didn’t realize my underwater camera fell out of my PFD pocket until 30 minutes later, so my camera was lost.

If you hear of anyone who found a yellow camera with a yellow floating strap, I would love to get it back.  Email me at wilmettekayakclub@gmail.com.  We had some great photos on there!

If you are reading this, you keep your boat at Gillson, and you are not yet a part of our group, email me, and I can add you to the listserv.  The listserv is becoming more active, and we have had some great group paddles!  We also have upcoming skills sessions, working on launching/landing, bracing, and rolls.

We still have about a month of the season left.  Let’s hope the weather stays nice and the water stays warm!

Happy Paddling!
